Episode description

In this episode, we talk to three Net Zero farmers – and ask whether cutting carbon emissions is good for farm incomes as well as for the environment.

Would animal welfare labelling on UK meat improve livestock returns?

As Basic Payments land in bank accounts – with reduced amounts for farmers in England – we ask two experts for their advice on managing farm finances.

We'll have the latest prices in our regular market round-up.

And we meet the first breeder since Brexit to import live sheep from the EU into the UK via the Calais-to-Dover crossing.

This episode of the Farmers Weekly Podcast is co-hosted by Johann Tasker and Surrey farmer Hugh Broom.
